I'll need some clarification on what you mean about him doing or saying silly stuff, exactly. The canon itself is not at all afraid of things being silly. For example, in the second episode of season 2, he literally quotes Sesame Street while looking a pile of bodies stitched together. I have never seen Hannibal the show, the movies, and some bits of the books as overly serious. Is the subject matter serious? Yes, of course it is. But it's also full of cannibal puns/wordplay, and Hannibal in the books/movies says things like, "okie dokie" which really does not strike me as it being too serious when it's not called for. Whenever I do tags that involve more serious subject matter, I do switch the tone up. What do you mean by doing silly stuff, though? His post about snagging up dogs? The thing with him somewhat drunkenly making flower crowns in the last event? Is there anything in particular that comes to mind for you?
As for worrying about being a cannibal, that is a very real fear that has been shown in season 2. The Copycat took out Cassie Boyle's lungs while she was still breathing and mounted her on a stag head. Garret Jacob Hobbs, they learned after he did not "honor" his victim and instead put her back, was eating his victims, too, and only put her back because she had cancer, and eating someone with that in their body runs the risk of transferring sickness (I'm not sure if it's cancer, exactly, but I read somewhere it was a possibility). The issue against him that was risen was that he lost time and got into Garret Jacob Hobbs' mind so much he began to recreate his crimes. Knowing Hobbs was a cannibal, knowing those are crimes he will be accused of when he returns, I believe a natural aversion to meat and worry of it is really quite sensible. Of course he knows he didn't do it, but with Lecter in his head and him unable to really get him out of it, Lecter who reminded him of getting too close to Hobbs (seeing him in places where he could not have been and feeling that he and Hobbs were doing the same things at the same time, like eating or showering or sleeping), that's a constant thought. He threw up an ear when the last thing he remembers of Abigail Hobbs is hallucinating himself impaling her, when he said terrible things to her, and then she ran off and he lost time until much later and had no idea what happened to her. The evidence against him is enormous, and with Garret Jacob Hobbs being a cannibal and Will being accused of being too far into his head (and he was at times), that's what he will be accused of. Does he know he didn't do it? Yes. But the fear is real and with Lecter in his head, it's more of a reminder of what has been done to him and that he will go back home (if he does) and the first thought people will have about him other than being a murderer who hid it well, perhaps, is that he went a step further and ate some of his victims. Thus, cannibalism is on his mind quite frequently because that is what he will have to deal with back home, if he ever goes back. That is not something that would ever be easy to deal with. That's very sickening, very wrong, and not something that I can imagine would just be put aside easily. He's been in Asgard only two months. I don't think that's honestly enough time to cope, and with Abigail here and Alana from a canon point where she knows of Will's accusations, I can't imagine it will get any better. Alana knows what he'll be accused of, that being cannibalism, and now it's a more constant reminder.
Of course you follow the show yourself, and this isn't meant as me saying you don't.
I did not mean to make you feel ignored by the way I've been tagging. Not at all. I believe I take on too much sometimes, and getting back to the Friendly Fire event is a priority. It's not that I prefer tagging people at my own pace, no. I am fine with backtagging unless it gets to a point where the thread could reasonably end or my tags are taking too long and thus become unfair to the other person waiting. I never mean to make anyone sad, I promise. That was not my intention at all, and I need to lighten what I tag into when I have so many other threads. Apologies for that!
You don't sound rude or bitchy, no. I just have some issues with what you're saying without a link or two to show me what you mean with regards to the silliness. People will have multiple interpretations of the same thing. I can't fully explain mine without something to show what you mean, exactly. That's all. I'd love to answer these questions when I have a better grasp on what it you're referring to, but the doing/saying silly stuff is not something I can answer without context.
